Now on to the next coach for SJS, it is Ron Caragher (UCDiego, 6 year coach) 8-3 last year, defense held opponents down the last 6 games. Ron was a recruiter of the Central Coast to Ventura and a Morgan Hill resident after going to Bellarmine…the UCLA grad has that bond with the new A.D. and worked with OL coach Bernardi (possible stay coach?).

I like the fact that as a UCLA guy he might be able to some how get Brent Brennan back to SJS, but money may not be there?

We know that the team is competitive, recruiting will continue quickly into letter of intent day, and some coaches might be retained. A California background was needed and I hope it helps in the long run!

Also, when you’re a coach, you *always* deny that you’re looking for a job until the ink is dry. Otherwise, you’re sabotaging your recruiting.

The reality is that if you’re hoping to find a coach that is going to stay with your school no matter what kind of money is thrown at them, or a coach that is going to publicly announce every time they talk to another school, you’re just setting yourself up for disappointment. If you hope to have a good coach, then put on your big boy pants and realize that there are bigger fish out there that can and will) outbid you for his services – that’s what life at a lower-tier school is all about. And UWisconsin proves that in the college football world, there’s *always* a bigger fish.

Stan – you may be right, Cal might’ve offered Mac a job. He might’ve turned it down, or maybe Cal turned him down (and felt obliged to say something about it since folks like Wilner were banging the MacIntyre drum so heavily). We’ll never know (although we *will* know if Cal was outbid by CU, since the Regents have to approve his contract, so all those details will be public).

In the end, this stuff will sort itself out on the field. We’ll know in a couple of years if Cal and CU made the right choice.

StanTheManTue, 11 Dec 2012 13:41:46 +0000http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegesports/?p=29078#comment-153021My point is nothing beyond this hire being a slap in Cal’s face (and Barbour’s). When a school says the decision to not pursue further talks was “mutual” that is code for the candidate said no. If Cal were the one saying no there would have been no statement at all. Did Cal say anything of the sort about anyone else they interviewed besides Dykes and Coach Mac? I didn’t hear it.

I also think it had to do with money. If Colorado is paying $2M per year then they likely outbid Cal by a significant amount. Highly doubtful Cal is paying Dykes that much, nor could they have afforded to match Colorado. The Ponzi Queen didn’t have that kind of budget, and likely couldn’t tap into donors too much since they just paid for Adios Tedfraud’s buyout.

I understand why he did it though, EVERYONE HAS A PRICE!

Take that big money and get the hell out of the Sparta. I hope he knows that there is zero loyalty in PAC12. If Coach Mac can’t turn the Buffs around in 3 years, they’ll boot his a$$ out before that 5 yrs contract comes up for a renew. All the PAC12 head coaches will be welcome him with a big time college program a$$ whooping. I’ll be watching the Buffs when they show up at the Rose Bowl and look forward to see the Bruins giving them a Socal beat down.

I really feel bad for the players that put their hearts out and gave Coach Mac everything this season. These kids should go into the Military Bowl with thir head held high and kick the $hit out of Bowling Green to vent out their anger. SJSU has a lot of good players coming back next season and should do well in MWC. SJSU Alums need to get their a$$ out to the Spartans Stadium and support the team.

Call him a Liar and Money Hungry. The facts are Colorado came to the table with an offer Coach Mac would be an Idiot to refuse..A 1.5 million dollar raise..I don’t know what kind of money you make, Jill, but if you were making $50,000 a year and a competitor came at you and offered you $250,000 grand a year you would probably leave, right? Even though you loved the people you worked with and they threw a bomb Christmas Party every year. I hope you would leave. Tell me you wouldn’t stay, please..
